*The drama continues with several new developments in the Raz B/Chris Stokes molestation story.
As we reported yesterday, former B2K member, 22-year-old DeMario "Raz B" Thornton recanted his earlier allegation that he was sexually molested by the group's former manager Chris Stokes.
However, Raz B's older brother Ricardo "Ricky Romance" Thornton, who leveled the same accusation against Stokes, continues to stand firmly by his statement.
Thursday, Ricardo, 26, told MTV News that he will not recant his claims made on a videotape posted to YouTube earlier this week. Ricardo also predicted that Raz will "come back around," suggesting that the apology might not have been his brother's idea.
Not only did the elder Thornton talk to MTV, he also spoke with the morning show team on Sacramento's 103.5 The Bomb, which you hear right here. Among other interesting things, you'll hear him say that it had been quite a while since he'd heard from his brother. The inference, of course, was that he was concerned for Raz B's safety and well being.
Sometime Thursday afternoon a blog called MediaBlitz reported that Raz B let it be known through his MySpace page that he was OK. However, when we visited MySpace, we found several Raz B pages/sites, but couldn't find that message or any recent message from him for that matter.
As previously reported, Raz B released a 27-second video Wednesday apologizing for the accusations of molestation he and Ricardo made against Stokes.
"This is DeMario Thornton, publicly known as Raz-B of B2K," he says in the video, titled 'The Truth About Chris Stokes B2K Part 3.' "I would like to send a public apology for some tapes that were leaked without my authority. I just want to say that those allegations are not true ... with Chris Stokes and Marques Houston, and I apologize for any hurt this may have caused publicly [or] financially."
